TI  - Altered and asymmetric default mode network activity in a "hypnotic virtuoso": an 
      fMRI and EEG study.

AB  - Very highly hypnotizable subjects are rare, easily induced, and able to manifest 
      the whole spectrum of hypnotic phenomena, including post-hypnotic amnesia. The 
      aim of this study was to detect and localize by means of quantitative functional 
      MRI and EEG changes in cortical activity during hypnosis induction and deep "pure 
      hypnosis" in a hypnotic "virtuoso" subject. We focused on areas forming the 
      default mode network (DMN), since previous studies found that very highly 
      suggestible subjects in hypnosis showed decreased activity in anterior DMN. 
      During undisturbed hypnosis, our "virtuoso" subject showed not only detectable 
      changes in DMN, but also peculiar activations of non-DMN areas and hemispheric 
      asymmetries of frontal lobe connectivity. Our findings confirm that hypnosis is 
      associated with significant modulation of connectivity and activity which involve 
      the DMN but are not limited to it, depending on the depth of the hypnotic state, 
      the type of mental content and emotional involvement.
